EOW is a one of a kind place offering the best dives in the Bay Islands. Brian, our fantastic host, took us to explore and enjoy the beauty of the... read more underwater wonders while doing our advanced divers license. When not diving, my husband and I discovered beautiful virgin beaches that were beyond perfect for relaxing.
The food was without a doubt fresh and delicious: our dishes ranged from Caribbean kind crab, lobster, permit and conch ceviche to traditional Honduran recipes.

Brian took care of every single detail. His whole staff was always available and very friendly.

This remote place is definitely for couples, nature-lovers and divers!

  My wife and I spent 11 days in Guanaja and 5 with Brian at EOW for our honeymoon. Brian has built a beautiful operation and you can tell he loves... read more what he's doing. The fishing and diving was unreal, and the food was excellent. Brian wants you to have the time of your life and he'll coordinate to make sure you check everything off your list.

This place is remote and unspoiled, and shines out from the Bahamas/Mexico trips we've taken. Excellent options for both the diver and the fisherman.

  My husband and I spent 2 weeks at the EOW resort in December 21. We are both scuba divers and spent as much time as possible diving. The most exciting... read more thing that happened was that we saw and swam with the friendly Nurse Sharks on almost every dive. For me, a dream come true, and they swam along with us for most of the dive. EOW’s dive master taught us how to spearfish the invasive Lionfish , which was so much fun and we had some amazing meals which were prepared by the chef when we returned with our catch. During one of the surface intervals between dives, a pod of dolphins swam through and we were able to jump in with them and one stuck around and played with me for a few minutes. The encounters with the dolphins and Nurse Sharks are among my top diving experiences ever!We were able to do some night dives where we saw lobsters everywhere, octopus, and even spotted a Shawn the Sheep Nudibranch that I have only seen in the Phillipines. One of the most beautiful dive sites is right around the corner from the resort, Micheal’s Rock. It was shallow so it is great for snorkeling too. Great fish variety and gorgeous sea fans everywhere. We spent Christmas there, and I have to say, Brian, the owner, went all out. We had an incredible seafood buffet, and they built two bonfires...

Before dinner, we always had a special drink of the day, which Brian made the best EVER pina colada made with fresh coconut milk! The view from our cottage was spectacular and I enjoyed the property with all of its lushness and palms, mangos,banana trees and flowers. Hummingbirds were everywhere and there were loungchairs and hammocks to relax in under a canopy of Palm trees. The staff was great, always setting up our dive gear, making great meals, keeping our room fresh , and even bringing me homemade chicken soup and tea to my room on a day that I was sick. I was truly sad to leave my new friends at End if the World and hope to visit again! A very special and remote place. Thank you Brian and your staff for taking such great care of us and for a trip of a lifetime! More

  FANTASTIC IN EVERY WAY!!!!
We spent the most relaxing and enjoyable week with Brian and his fabulous family and staff! I cannot say enough about how hospitable everyone was!... read more Our every need was met with smiles! The food was out of this world awesome! Brian made sure that we were handed a special drink of the day immediately upon finishing our last dive every day! That was so special, and so were the drinks! Carved out coconuts with fresh piña coladas, made right there, was the perfect touch for the tropical vacation!
Room was spacious, immaculate and super comfortable bed!
We are divers, so we dove every day. We also had lived in Roatán for many years and have been visiting Roatán for over 16 years, and sadly had never made it to Guanaja.
We will absolutely return as often as we can! Quiet, secluded, small resort, fabulous diving, perfect hosts made this week one of the most memorable in years!
Thank you Brian, your lovely family and fabulous staff for the best trip!!!!
We’ll see you soon then!!!

This is not Roatan! It's Roatan 25 years ago. All divers and nature lovers should experience this slice of paradise, but do so gently and humbly. More

**My travel agent did not tell me about this place-so thanks to real people who review on Trip Advisor!

My husband and traveled to End of The World in Guanaja on July 10-17. I am a health care provider and this was a trip to get away from all things Covid-19. We needed to DIVE, RELAX, and JUST BREATH. No crowds here-social distancing is easy:)

We chose End of the World as it is a small resort in a ideal location. Booking the trip was supper easy-Dealing with the owner of the resort made planning stress free. Brian was in contact with me via email and WhatsApp. He offered help with airline and entrance requirements for the country. Any question that I had he answered personally We flew from Newark - Houston, to Roatan - Guanaja. No problem! Along the way, we were anticipating a great vacation and that is what we got.
Brian sent a boat to the Guanaja airport to pick us up. Open air airport that is quite efficient, we were out of there within 15 minutes of landing. The short boat ride to his resort is spectacular, the North side of the island is pristine. No over development here, just peaceful beach and tropical green island. We choose the Islander Room on the hillside, but honestly any of the 4 cabanas will impress with their view and tropical breeze. The bedding was comfortable, the room bright with plenty of space, and a covered porch for relaxing, and drying wet beach wear. There is a fan in the room and we occasionally turned that on, but the breeze is all you need. We could hear the birds and the waves on the beach when in the room.
We both are vegetarian and the staff did a great job creating satisfying meals for us. The screened Tiki bar is a great place to talk about the days dives and offers a nice selection of beer and a daily drink special. We also played cards several evenings.
The dock/boat is a stones throw from the rinse tanks-but you never touch your gear. After dropping your dive gear on arrival-it is all taken care of for you. Diving here is easy and fun. No rush, swim at you pace. No crowded boat. Lots to see and more nurse sharks than I have ever seen. Beautiful hard and soft coral, tons of fish. The water was quite calm, no current. SIT time between dives was spent back at the resort or on a secluded beach by ourselves.
Bugs in our room were never an issue. We did get some non-itchy red dots on our hikes, but we never felt the need for bug spray.
We hiked to 2 water falls, the "little water fall" and the "big waterfall". At the waters edge you can put your feet in the water and little shrimp walk on your toes (free pedicure) We are not "hikers" but we love to walk and climb in the jungle.
I have only good things to say about End of The World. On arrival you feel as though there is not a care in the world.
If you are a SCUBA Diver, I encourage all to enjoy a week or two at this fantastic destination-take a break from life, enjoy and dive. If your not a diver and just need a holiday in a quiet, peaceful, safe place this beach front resort is a perfect choice to re-charge.
Covid testing before we returned to the USA was required and was no problem-we had our result in less than an hour.
We never felt anxious or unsafe-travel was a little different, getting in the water was long over due.

A big thank you, to Brian and his family for sharing their slice of paradise at the end of the world.

  End of the World is our favorite place in Guanaja. We are not tourists, we are Americans who have lived here since 1995. We have been going to End of... read more the World since the beginning, around 1996. At first it was just a great bar that the gringos and a lot of local islanders hung out at. During this time Brian was preparing for his very first guests. October 1998, just days before his first guests were to arrive, Category 5 Hurricane Mitch struck and devastated End of the World and the whole island and much of the country of Honduras. At this point tourism was dead on Guanaja and Brian had to go back to the US and go back to work to get funds to rebuild. He did rebuild and reopened. Then a neighbor started a fire that got away and burned End of the World bar (which had miraculously survived Hurricane Mitch) and a lot of the surrounding property. So, back to the states to get funds to rebuild once again. Brian worked as Captain on a private yacht for several years putting all of his money into rebuilding End of the World one more time. He did reopen for the 3rd time around 2018. Brian Rowland is one of the hardest working, most determined people I know. Guanaja is a beautiful island but is not for everyone. Make sure you do your research before coming. Then make your reservation and come to End of the World. You won't regret it.

  End of the World is a FANTASTIC place for a get away from it all relaxing vacation! I visited solo for diving in April 2021. The place is beautiful!! It’s... read more beachfront with rooms up on the hillside with fantastic views, hammocks under the palms, and a great tiki bar/dining room. I especially looked forward to having a nightly cocktail and watching sunset over the water.

The diving was wonderful – almost no current with healthy reefs, lots of fish, barracuda, morays, rays and nurse sharks. Capt Brian and his son Jordan led all the dives and we never saw another diver on the reef. The reef is right in front of the resort and a quick boat ride to all the sites. In the afternoons I’d read a book on the beach, nap in a hammock, hop on the boat to town for errands, visit a waterfall, or walk down to a great snorkel spot.

When I wasn’t ready to leave after a week (who would be?!) Brian accommodated me to stay longer, switched my flight out and rescheduled my covid test. My second week I worked remotely. There’s a few wifi routers around the property so I was able to move around throughout the day and even without cell service I made all my calls over wifi. Beats the office any day!

Most importantly, the people are what make this place incredible. Capt Brian and his staff were great! Honestly I can’t speak highly enough of everyone. Thanks to you all – and hope to be back sooner than later!

  We read several reviews about this destination and determined EOW would fit our plans for an escape (at least temporarily) from pandemic fatigue, winter doldrums and a busy work schedule.... read more The prospect of a quiet atmosphere, a relaxed pace, the beauty of the Bay Islands and great diving fit the bill. Getting There (and Leaving) – Our host, Capt. Brian, was 100% involved from start to finish. He was in contact with us every step of the way and coordinated our travel to and from the resort once we arrived in Honduras. The requirements for re-entering the US during the pandemic involved receiving a Covid-19 test prior to departure. Capt. Brian personally scheduled our Covid-19 tests and took us to the local health clinic to ensure that the documentation was correct for our departure. Knowing that we had a tight flight schedule for the return home, Capt. Brian stopped into the local airport office the day before we left to confirm our flight was scheduled & on time.

Food – Capt. Brian is also a master chef! He, along with Stephanie & Ashley, saw to it that we never went hungry! Three delicious homemade meals per day, including fresh vegetables, steak, lobster, shrimp, grouper and of course, specialty cocktails. The outdoor masonry grill is something to see!

Diving – We had 5 days of wonderful diving. It had been 2 years since we had been diving & Brian & Jordy made certain that we were comfortable & well attended to. We only brought our masks & snorkels, which wasn’t a problem since the resort is well equipped with gear that was very well-maintained (BCDs were brand new). Visibility was good to excellent with light to almost no current. The healthy coral, abundant fish and a relaxed pace made every dive a pleasure. Highlights include nurse sharks, green moray, rays, barracuda and turtle. If you visit, make sure to ask for a dive at the extensive swim-throughs, they are fantastic! There are numerous dive sites just minutes from the resort dock so long boat rides weren’t necessary and the surface intervals were spent on several secluded (nobody there but us) beaches close to the dive sites. Can’t say that surface intervals were ever a dive highlight before but these between dive stops were very relaxing and became something to look forward to. Bonus- The snorkeling is great with several sites a short walk from the resort.

BOTTOM LINE – No colored wrist bands here! A personalized diving experience by people who care about where they live, the people they work with, & their guests. Our comfort & satisfaction were their top priority! We arrived as guests, we left as friends! We don’t usually visit the same place twice, but EOW may be the exception! More

  So after being cooped up for almost a year due to Covid, I thought... "Why not book a journey to The End of the World?" and Here is what... read more I experienced:
I found myself in an oasis of pure, natural, unaffected beauty. The beach is private and the grounds are kept immacuately.
The view is amazing and I saw the most incredible rainbow right from the terrace of my room. (see pics)
If you are looking for seclusion on a tropical island - this is the place for you.
Brian, the owner, is an excellent host and will make sure any requests are met while you are here.
I really enjoyed the food, as well. Everyone here really went out of their way to make our stay the absolute best. Can't wait to share this "secret find" with my friends.

  A week at the End of the World Resort was just what I needed... Brian and his crew took great care of us!

Service:
When travel restrictions changed and... read more required COVID testing for entry back into the US, I thought this trip was doomed. However, Brian assured me it would be no problem getting tested in Guanaja before our return flight home..... in short, he was absolutely right and he took care of everything to arrange COVID tests for us (easy! painless!) before we went home.

Before we arrived, our flights were cancelled by the airline and we arrived to Roatan a day later than expected. Brian immediately took care of changing our transportation to Guanaja from Roatan for the following day. This was SO appreciated considering I was pretty cranky thinking we would have a hard time figuring this out!

When we arrived, Brian and his crew had lunch and drinks waiting for us. Throughout the week, Ashley and Stephanie made delicious fresh meals including grouper, lobster, and even pizza! They were friendly, easy to talk to, and really helpful.

Diving! Capt. Brian, his son Jordy, and Armando took us out to different sites every day. The diving there is really relaxing... no current to speak of, which allows you to take your time and stop and have a look whenever you like. They took care of changing our tanks and dealing with all of the gear every day as well. I really enjoyed watching the nurse sharks during the dives and at the safety stops- a real highlight for me.

If you're not a diver, you could just relax in your room or in a hammock; walk the beach; take day trips to towns; go fishing; check out the waterfalls {we did some of this but my main goal was to dive, read, and take naps}.

Brian is incredibly accommodating and is happy to arrange tours or just let you do whatever you feel like. He has awesome stories and is fun to visit with. He also makes fabulous tropical drinks --- his mai thais, piña coladas, and daiquiries are fantastic!

In all, I would definitely recommend End of the World Resort for people that enjoy a relaxing, more rustic setting (no A/C, TV, nor hot showers--- but none were needed) where you can escape the crowds of other destinations and move at your own pace.

  At the height of the pandemic my wife and I decided to escape to the Caribbean and continue to work if possible and try to live in a semi normal... read more life I found Capt. Brian at the End of the World through contacts in the offshore business as he worked offshore some years back. He helped me with logistics and planning a boat trip down. So off we headed to Guanaja with my Sportfish from New Orleans. Upon arrival we quarantined for two weeks which was a pretty incredible quarantine. Our own cabana with wifi, food delivery and cocktail delivery. The bartender gave us a walkie talkie and we communicated like that and via whatsapp. It was great! The food was wonderful and plentiful. We got to fish, dive spend time on the beach and do some work via the internet system. The hotel has a perfect set up with solar power/ diesel, his own fruit trees and plants, fishing, catching lobsters, crab and conch. As the world was being turned inside out we lived like kings! The staff took us in and treated us like family. No luxury was spared. There was no beer or liquor anywhere on Guanaja but the hotel had ample supplies of everything. This place really is the destination for anyone wanting to really getaway and enjoy nature and fantastic scuba diving. It is reassuring that there is a place to go if the world does go insane and decides to lock down again. The name couldn’t be more perfect

  This place...The calmness, serenity, quiet...The views, miles of beach to yourself, a delicious cove close by.
The bungalows sit up on a hill overlooking stunning blue water, however we... read more were in them only to sleep, which was terrific, because the great outdoors called to us to stay outside from early to late.
Brian, the owner, took us all over the place by boat, just like we jump in our boat at home with friends; we truly enjoyed feeling included while visiting Brians friends on the other side of the island, walking the streets of Bonaca, and visiting with locals as they would come to the tiki bar to relax.
My husband talks about the scuba trips all the time, he became obsessed and absolutely loved the wall! My ears wouldn't let me go down; not to worry, I must have spent 6 or 7 hours a day snorkeling!
Brian spent a lot of time with me on the phone, off and on, for a while before we went; so the the flow of travel was easy peasy. He picked us up at the airport in his boat and as soon as we got away from the dock we just felt a deep sigh as all thoughts of the world behind melted away.
We'll be back!

  I have a coworker that recently spent a vacation at The End of the World
and just would talk about what a great time he and his wife had there.... read more They
took pictures and some videos and it sounded perfect So we decided let’s
do it. The concierge made all of our reservations and connecting flight
arrangements from Roatan to Guanaja. Easy and no stress! Prices were
more than reasonable and the service excellent. I went fishing with Jordan
several times using my new Ultra light set up. Landed many Bonefish,
Tarpon and Permit all around the Resort. Flats, Beach and estuaries are all
there and full of fish. Better than the Bahamas, Mexico and Belize. Didn’t
see hardly anyone else fishing. My wife enjoyed scuba during the trip and
just raved about the wall dives and the Shark diving, loved it! The Bar at
the place was cool. We met the Mayor, Police Chief and his family,
fishermen, other tourists from the other hotels and just Islanders stopping
by. This is the place to be at if you want to actually experience Guanaja and
the locals color. They all seem to end up at this TIKI bar set right on the
beach. It’s an oasis that the locals really enjoy. Staff were enthusiastic and
a lot of fun. Always helpful and friendly. We will definitely return.
